You want to nit-pick, be my guest, but as someone who follows 95% of the NBA crazed people roughly zero have given any indication any of this was Wade's idea. No. One.

Fuckin' relax dude. I didn't know that. That's why I was asking. You might have noticed where I wrote "just curious". I didn't even think twice about it until I saw a thing about Facebook Wade in a hoodie on PBT.

I'm not nit-picking. Just wondering. I had no idea who's idea it was. So I asked.

Next time I'll make sure I spill 1,000 words in my post to make it clear enough that I'm not just "hating on LeBron like all hiljack Ohioans".

(notice I said the few)

No. Actually I was perusing Hardball Talk, like I often do. After that I scroll down to the bottom of the page to see what's what on PFT and PBT and CFT and I see a story about Wade in a hoodie. Posted about the same time as LeBron's tweet.

I click on it and don't see anything about the tweet in the story, so I wonder if maybe Wade should be getting a little credit here too. Or not. I don't really give a fuck.

Now Melo came out with his own picture, far less impressed by that but at least they are all united in showing support.

I have absolutely no doubt that there is a vocal contingent of ignorant fucks from Cleveland refusing to give LBJ any sort of credit for this because of who he is and what he did.

FTR - as for myself, when I saw that tweet I thought is was awesome. When you were typing your last reply, I was on the floor playing trains with the boy. I heard Trayvon's cries for help on that tape followed by the shots. I have no interest in hearing it again because when I think about it I get a lump in my throat so big I think it might explode. I can think of nothing to explain the actions of the deranged monster responsible and am saddened that in 2012 shit like this apparently still happens.

I don't give a fuck what Lebron says or does, he's a cunt, end of story.

The fact you can have no initial charges brought given the evidence, suggest the cops in that town were run by the dumbest motherfucker this side of.... I don't know, somewhere stupid. Mother can think of a comparison, I have no time for such time wasting.

Imagine if these useless fucks in uniform were protecting your town.

Never underestimate the power and predictability of stupidity...... like a DU post.

If a black dude shot a white kid carrying skittles for no reason and the cops let the killer go this would have been Natalie Holloway from jump, so no, the NBA players probably wouldn't have had to jump into a movement to correct racially driven crime.

I mean, do the native Americans count?

Well, I suppose there are always problems to fix. I'm sick of trying to reach ideals and thinking things are so bad. Better is the enemy of good enough.

The "old" BPP? The two groups are unrelated. The old group actually sued the new group for using the name, but since both groups are marginalized even within the black separatist movement no one really cares.

I mean most people will try to have sympathy over stuff like this, b/c frankly it all seems to be avoidable, and who knows when we can be in a spot like this.

But the media is notorious for inaccuracies, all the time, regarding every type of news story. The media didn't initiate this crime, or controversy, but they poured fuel to the fire in some regard. Spawning a whole crazy and controversial backlash of insanity. Unfortunately it is part of the world we live in today.

If the latest is accurate, it doesn't bode well for prosecution hopes, nor the credibility/reps of all those who jumped on board the crazy calls for public manhunts and vigilante justice.

Frankly that is the list I want to see now.

Stuff like this showing up this far into the process feels a lot more like trying to save your own ass.

I am not sure what you mean sat on it? This article from the 9th of March implied that there was a fight/struggle. Who knows how much danger he was really in, but that is why everyone out in front of this needs to relax a bit, ask the Duke Lax protesters. Perhaps the facts don't jive with the story constructed in the media and by Al Sharpton.

When officer T. Smith arrived at the scene moments later, he found Martin’s body lying face down on the grass about 70 yards from the family’s home, bleeding from a chest wound. He had $22, candy and a can of iced tea in his pockets.

Zimmerman gave police a statement that he stepped out of his car and he and Martin fought. He said he was “yelling for someone to help, but no one would help me.”

Zimmerman had a bloody nose, wet grass stains on his red jacket and was bleeding head wound. Martin was pronounced dead at 7:30 p.m.

A bunch of inept mouth breather cops who are dumber than shit and should be digging ditches or pulling huge turds out of clogged toilets. Not carrying a guns or having any say in arresting people or serving justice.

That whole department should be purged.

If you shoot someone who is begging for their life and unarmed, you're probably a psychopath.

And DU, if they play those 911 tapes for a jury, Zimmerman is in bad fucking shape.

1) You have the cops TELLING him to stay in his car.

2) You have a unarmed kid begging for his life, a shot, and then silence.

CDT there is a strong possibilty a jury never sees this. If the evidence convines authorities that Zimmerman was acting in full blown self defense he would be exonerated, a corraborating witness is as strong a piece of evidence as a 911 tape, if not stronger.

I hope it can shed some light.

Obviously I don't know what really happened, but I'm just not buying Zimmermans version of events that came out today. So Martin attacked him and was beating him when he shot the kid? Zimmerman was screaming help and then shot him who's being attacked? Doubt it.

Even if Martin did attack him like he said, it seems to me like Z pulled the gun and executed him.

Whoo-Hoo, I live the next town south of Sanford. Should be a fun summer, imagine if that dude doesn't get convicted somehow. My wife said last night she wants some guns, and classes on home defense. Although our sympathies tend toward the kid, once the shit breaks you don't get a chance to say "excuse me Mr. Rioter I am in agreement with your cause".

The hispanic guy from what I can tell is actually a pretty well liked guy who has to be shaking his head right now at the national spotlight on him. Some black local news guy is apparently a personal friend and telling everyone he's a very sweet guy, not a racist.

Anyone see that crazy bitch from FAU go off the other day? The important thing to note is that the black kids in class were really laughing the hardest. While it only takes a couple of nut-jobs like that to do some damage this is why I don't think there are going to be any full-blown race riots. Anyone with a good education and some chance at upward mobility will not be throwing molotav cocktails.
